Write the number of correct answers for each section in the answer key at the bottom of that section.  \nCALCULATE YOUR SCORES  \n3 Using your marked-up answer key and the conversion table, follow the directions on page 5 to get your section and test scores.  \n2  \nGet Section and Total Scores  \nSection and total scores for the paperversion of this PSAT 8/9 practice test are expressed as ranges. That’s because the scoring method described in this guide is a simplified (and therefore slightly less precise) version of the one used in the actual test.  \nTo obtain your Reading and Writing and Math section scores, use the provided answer key to determine the number of questions you answered correctly in each section. These numbers constitute your raw scores for the two sections. Use the provided table to convert your raw score for each section into a scaled score range consisting of a lower and upper value. Add the two lower values together and the two upper values together to obtain your total score range.  \nGET YOUR READING AND WRITING SECTION SCORE  \nCalculate your PSAT 8/9 Reading and Writing section score (it’s on a scale of 120–720) .  \n1 Use the answer key on page 4 to find the number of questions in module 1 and module 2 that you answered correctly.  \n2 To determine your Reading and Writing raw score, add the number of correct answers you got on module 1 and module 2.  \n3 Use the Raw Score Conversion Table: Section Scores on page 5 to turn your raw score into your Reading and Writing section score.  \n4 The lower and upper values associated with your raw score establish the range of scores you might expect to receive had this been an actual test.  \nGET YOUR MATH SECTION SCORE  \nCalculate your PSAT 8/9 Math section score (it’s on a scale of 120–720) .  \n1 Use the answer key on page 4 to find the number of questions in module 1 and module 2 that you answered correctly.  \n2 To determine your Math raw score, add the number of correct answers you got on module 1 and module 2.  \n3 Use the Raw Score Conversion Table: Section Scores on page 5 to turn your raw score into your Math section score.  \n4 The lower and upper values associated with your raw score establish the range of scores you might expect to receive had this been an actual test.  \nGET YOUR TOTAL SCORE  \nAdd together the lower values for the Reading and Writing and Math sections","cbCaicLcqz1NnBFc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicLcqz1NnBFc","pdf",870781,"English","# How to Calculate Your Practice Test Scores\n## Score Your Practice Test\n## Calculate Your Scores\n## Get Section and Total Scores","[{\"question\":\"What materials are needed to score the PSAT 8/9 practice test?\",\"answer\":\"You need the practice test itself, plus the answer key and the conversion table included at the end of the guide.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you calculate the Reading and Writing section score?\",\"answer\":\"Count correct answers in module 1 and module 2 using the answer key to get a raw score, then use the Raw Score Conversion Table on page 5 to convert it into a Reading and Writing scaled score range.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you determine the total PSAT 8/9 score range?\",\"answer\":\"Add the lower values from the Reading and Writing and Math section ranges to get the total lower value, and add the upper values to get the total upper value on the 240–1440 scale.\"}]","PSAT 8/9 Practice Test - Scoring Guide 2 - How to Calculate Scores | PDF",13]
